Neurogenic Bladder: A Complication After Endoscopic Adhesiolysis with Return of Bladder Function While Using Nitrofurantoin.
We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of chronic low back pain and 2 previous lumbar fusions who presented with complaints of worsening back and leg pain. Having previously undergone multiple interventions, physical therapy, and oral analgesics with limited pain relief, the patient opted for endoscopic lysis of adhesions for severe scarring of the epidural space. Subsequently, the patient developed a neurogenic bladder with urinary retention. Three years later, she experienced resolution of the neurogenic bladder symptoms that coincided with the use of the antibiotic nitrofurantoin. Upon discontinuation of the antibiotic, the patient noted that she was unable to void spontaneously. With reinstitution of nitrofurantoin, the patient was once again able to void effectivel…

Contemporary low back pain research – and implications for practice

Contemporary low back pain research – and implications for practice
Each month, several journals contain reports on new ways of looking at low back pain-related risk and prognostic factors, new clinical interventions and suggestions for improved care. This is because back pain continues to be a vexing condition to manage. It often defies evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, and is associated with considerable individual suffering and negative societal impact. Although reviewing new and promising strategies is always interesting and gratifying for the reader, it is sobering to reconsider similar efforts over the past decades. Most new ideas for low back pain care have not proven to be effective when subjected to repeated rigorous and independent evaluation. New developments in epidemiologic and clinical understanding, and innovative approaches to non-medica…

A randomized placebo-controlled trial of intradiscal methylene blue injection for the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain

A randomized placebo-controlled trial of intradiscal methylene blue injection for the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain
Abstract: A preliminary report of clinical study revealed that chronic discogenic low back pain could be treated by intradiscal methylene blue (MB) injection. We investigated the effect of intradiscal MB injection for the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain in a randomized placebo-controlled trial. We recruited 136 patients who were found potentially eligible after clinical examination and 72 became eligible after discography. All the patients had discogenic low back pain lasting longer than 6months, with no comorbidity. Thirty-six were allocated to intradiscal MB injection and 36 to placebo treatment. The principal criteria to judge the effectiveness included alleviation of pain, assessed by a 101-point numerical rating scale (NRS-101), and improvement in disability, as assessed…

Prevention and management of chronic back pain

Prevention and management of chronic back pain
Low back pain is prevalent, and both debilitating for the patient and costly for society if it becomes a chronic condition.

The main message, based on the best evidence, is that keeping active despite low back pain is “healthy”. A large portion of patients seeking care can manage their short term and even longer term incapacity. However, for those who cannot manage their pain, significant relief can be found in a variety of conservative treatments. Passive treatment should be kept to a minimum as evidence shows that active treatments are more effective for improving function and r…
